"I watched Nightline tonight, and I was shocked beyond belief when Sebastian Junger in Northern Afghanistan reported on the presence of American troops on the (former Soviet) Bagram Air Force Base. This base, as you know, is right on the front line with the Taliban positions. Junger, incredibly, reported that the Americans were directing the bombing from the control tower! He gave an exact pinpoint location of Amercan troops, putting their lives in danger. Need I remind you that the former leader of the Northern Alliance Massoud was killed by suicide bombers posing as a television crew? Please inform Mr. Junger that our forces do not appreciate having their location pinpointed within sniper range of the enemy!"
Far better to let the CIA handle them.
